Where are our 数学 校友 now?

凯尔·贝克勒06届 works as a data scientist with 世邦魏理仕 在圣巴巴拉. In 2015, Kyle completed his Ph.D. in statistics from UC Santa Barbara. His areas of expertise include predictive modeling, 机器学习, 杠杆信用, and financial modeling.

罗比·切里06年 earned a master’s degree in education, coached cross country and track, and worked as a substitute teacher. 他现在在加州尔湾的格林路德高中教数学.他还担任越野和田径的助理教练. 他回忆起在教授家里喝茶、吃点心、讨论三分角的美好时光.

Kristin Kidd Demmert ’06 她在约翰霍普金斯大学获得了护理学位,在丹佛的一家不孕症诊所工作, 科罗拉多州. She is earning a master’s degree in nursing. 她深情地回忆起在数学办公室的黑板前复习概念的几个小时, all of the dinners together, and learning math in such a tight-knit group.

Melissa McCleod ’06 在中国的一所国际学校教初中和高中数学, everything from sixth-grade math to AP calculus.  Her students come from all over the world, including South Korea, 马来西亚, 新加坡, 加拿大和土耳其. 她在韦斯特蒙特接受的教育使她能够很好地回答学生提出的一些问题, 如, “Where exactly is pi on the number line?”

That process is usually uncomfortable; trying to stay up all night to cram new material into your brain before 首页work is due is usually not the way to go. My all-time favorite quote from Dr. Rosentrater: ‘Patsy, you need sleep.’”

Stephanie Earney Meriaux ’01 毕业于数学专业,很快就离开了舒适的4方程式,骑行500英里横穿全国之后参加了铁人三项并在拓展训练中心和Boojum学院做过短暂的户外教育工作. 她住在法国,利用她的旅行和数学技能,在一家地理信息系统公司担任项目经理,该公司为企业收集和分析地理和人口信息.

迈克·佩蒂' 06 在完成数学学位后,他在一家互联网通信提供商和一家制造业软件开发公司工作. He joined the staff of Youth with a Mission and works in Romania.  迈克说:“当我第一次接触非欧几里得几何时,我有点震惊.  But once I was given the tools and theorems to explore, 在这个我从未去过的地方闲逛变得更加令人兴奋.”

Paige Baird Whiting ’00 毕业后花了几年时间当高中数学老师. She now lives in India and works for India Christian 部门, 让有危险的孩子在教堂里过家庭生活,在当地接受教育, 私人, English-speaking school.
